A few miles north of Fajardo is this fishing area, where seafood is sold in open-air restaurants along the ocean. A small park in the middle of town has a lovely waterfront walk, and it's easy to find outfitters for any kind of ocean adventure, from kayak excursions to sailing trips.
Las Paylas is a series of natural rock slides and pools accessed through a path near a local's home. You can park at the home for a fee, and it's a short five-minute hike into the rainforest. People come with coolers, picnic baskets, and music to set up and relax by the water. There are bathrooms available for those who park at the home as well. If you're going to ride down the rock slides, make sure to tuck in your elbows.
